Why hasn't Russia used chemical/biological/radiological weapons in Ukraine? They're complete animals and have no problem killing and torturing civilians and POWs so it's clearly not a moral issue. Putin is retarded enough to start the conflict so he's retarded enough to do whatever. Their situation is bad and unsustainable so they'd probably be looking for any advantage. They can veto UNSC measures to do something about it and the General Assembly's condemnations mean nothing. The Chinksects will probably just complain to save face but still trade with Russia, the Frogs, Bongs and Krauts won't commit any forces because they fear "EsCaLaTiOn", Orange Man is cucked enough to do fuckall about it and Thirdies are pro-Russia enough to not care. The Kremlin already considers Russian lives worthless so they won't give a shit about how it affects them unless it becomes an oligarch's problem or something. I legit just don't see why Russia hasn't dropped sarin or mustard gas or caesium-137 on Ukrainian civilians yet. Pic semi-related.
Probably because they don't have any in working order.
>>64340874Because those are easy to make, and spread into moscow metro as a retalation
>>64340881They have nuclear reactors so they could just grind spent fuel and waste products in a powder and load it in a warhead or even just get a vatnik in a crop duster to spray it. Chemical industries could pump out nasty chemical weapons. If Aum Shirinko could get Sarin with a glorified meth lab setup there's no reasons the vatniks can't whip up some crap.
>>64340874The Eastern European battlefield isn't anywhere near as crowded as war planners figured it would be in the 1970s/80s when the idea of WMDs was more in vogue. You can hardly assemble full squads in a given area anymore with how attractive large masses of soldiers are as targets on a transparent warzone full of drones. That being said, the entire point of weapons of "mass" destruction is to kill entire brigades at a time. If you can't score huge multi-kills by deploying them, the amount of effort that decontamination takes so you can move in and occupy the area after their use really isn't worth it.
>>64340874There have been some chemical attacks. However these have been isolated and occurred in specific fronts at specific times; most likely this implies a battalion or brigade commander getting his hands on low-grade chemical weapons and putting them in the field without notifying higher-ups. Given that these incidents have decreased rather than increased over time, even as russia has faced severe equipment shortages while also being more willing to absorb human casualties, it's probably safe to assume that they fear the backlash that could result from widespread use. They are at the point where they could not resist a Serbia-style bombing campaign from NATO, and that would absolutely be on the table if systematic deployment of WMDs stafted happening.
>>64340903The russians probably aren't keen on more 'exclusion zone around chernobyl' tier land. After all, they really believe that they're winning.
>>64340943>he doesn't know what russians did in the exclusion zone when they invaded in 2022who's gonna tell him
>>64340874Even at the darkest hour during the siege of Berlin the Germans didn't use their vast stocks of chemical weapons, because MAD applies to them too. >>64340923I've never actually seen any evidence of this but I would be willing to be proven wrong
>>64340954Supposing that I do know, would I use that to base my assumption on? Come back to the adults table when you've figrued that out
>>64340874In case it completely slipped your attention: they want to conquer and USE Ukraine.
Honestly?It’s because they kind of suck. While also opening Russia up to retaliation.
>>64340874They do use chemical weapons. It's pretty well documented.
>>64340958IIRC the chemical weapons in question are basically tear gas (riot control agents). Granted its Ruski tear gas, so it probably gives you ten different kinds of cancer if you look at it for too long, but its more of a "technically a chemical weapon" than "literal nerve agents". There've been reports of the Russians intermittently using them to try to suppress Ukrainian trenches for a couple of years across most of the southeastern front.
>>64340874Imagine, for a minute, that you see the neighborhood hobo on the sidewalk in front of your house, beating some guy who used to hang with him but has since decided he wanted to actually do something with his life. You might help the guy he's beating, because you don't think he deserves it, but you're not gonna personally step into harm's way for him. You're not afraid of the hobo because you're a hasguns, but getting involved could be messy and you don't want to fight a desperate hobo. Now imagine said hobo pulls out his HIV ridden syringe and shanks the guy with it. Now the risk calculation is different, now the hobo has escalated, and that HIV ridden needle is a credible threat to you. He's had arguments with you before, and threatened you. If he lunges at you, you might come away with something much worse than a bruise, and he's acting irrationally.
>>64341107It's basically high-grade tear gas that'll kill with prolonged exposure.Ziggers use bomber drones to deploy it and flush ukies out of trenches and bunkers so they can shell/drone them.Still, as far as war crimes legislation cares, they might as well be using VX or Phosgene.Gas is Gas. It's illegal to use. Doesn't matter that it's a less-lethal riot control gas.
>>64340874Because they'd fuck up and kill themselves first:>Before the activisation of Department 12’s work with overseas sources in 1987-8, biological materials often came to us without proper precautions having been taken for their containment. The containers in which they were delivered from the KGB rezidenturas were temporary and, frequently, not meant for the transportation of potentially dangerous biological pathogens. >Sometimes there were no appropriate containers at all. In those days samples were forwarded almost always in the same packaging as they had been received from the sources. These might be soldered glass tubes, vacuum flasks, petri dishes, or thermoses with dry ice. The consequences could have been disastrous if dangerous micro-organisms had been accidentally released into the open environment. When poorly packaged materials were received, Colonel Ismail Aliev, our deputy chief, could be heard yelling, ‘Guys! Don’t drag any of that shit into the centre! The whole Intelligence Service will die! Carry all this stuff straight from the plane into the secret labs!”
>>64340874>Why hasn't Russia used chemical/biological/radiological weapons in Ukraine?Why hasn't Isreal used them in Gaza, if it's "genocide time" like all the whining liberals clain? There is nonquicker way to lose international support than becoming a global pariah. >>64340923>it's probably safe to assume that they fear the backlashThis. Why didn't Russia use them in Afghanistan?
>>64340874>why hasn't russia used bio weapons on their neighbors and country theyre currently trying to push into
>>64341131>He's had arguments with you before,This was where I pepper sprayed him to settle him down. Don't let them get out of bounds to begin with. Drive them off into another neighborhood,. Make them even more refugee than they are.
>>64340874>Why hasn't Russia used chemical/biological/radiological weapons in Ukraine?Because they don't have any nor do they possess the facilities make those sorts of things.They're sending out museum pieces and donkey to go get blown up by drones and artillery for Christ's sake.
>>64341472>Why hasn't Isreal used them in Gaza, if it's "genocide time" like all the whining liberals clain?Weird to single out liberals when it's basically anyone who isn't a zionist nutcase saying that israel is committing genocide.
>bioweaponsRussians ARE bioweapons that contaminate the land they inhabit
>>64341527Have they let the hostages go? No? Then, the war continues. We should have sacrificed the Embassy personnel with invasion, instead of letting them be held for 444 days.
